Sweet Memories
I remember how my mother ________________________ angry with me every morning before school.
She was always in a hurry to brush my long hair and I _________________________ a scandal because it hurt!
I _______________________ to school with my older brother, but he ______________________to me
on the way. He __________________________ going to school with me at all! He could walk much faster than
me and he always tried to leave me behind. I _________________________: “wait for me!” but that just made
him walk faster. Back home, I __________________________ to his bedroom and hide his things, so he
____________________ hours looking for them. We ____________________________ at all, until he was
about 18 and I was 15, and then we were the best of friends!
I remember what fun we ________________________ on weekends when our father was at home. He
_________________________ me his sweet little girl. Sunday mornings was my favorite time. He
_________________________ up very early, get on our bikes and ride for a couple of hours. Then, when we
got back home, mother had breakfast ready for us. I ________________________ those breakfasts! She
________________________ us scrambled eggs, and we had toast and marmalade and hot milk, which I liked
very sweet. I __________________________ four spoons of sugar in the milk when mother wasn’t looking.
(She didn’t like me doing that!)
